Do not misuse my name. I am the LORD your God, and I will punish anyone who misuses my name.
They are always rebelling and speaking evil of you.
Make promises only in my name, and do what you promise! Then all nations will praise me, and I will bless them.
Cursing, dishonesty, murder, robbery, unfaithfulness— these happen all the time. Violence is everywhere.
Do not misuse my name by making promises you don't intend to keep. I am the LORD your God.
Respect the LORD your God, serve only him, and make promises in his name alone.
Worship and obey the LORD your God with fear and trembling, and promise that you will be loyal to him.
My friends, above all else, don't take an oath. You must not swear by heaven or by earth or by anything else. “Yes” or “No” is all you need to say. If you say anything more, you will be condemned.
